LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwired) — 12/09/14 — (OTCQB: MMRF), through its wholly owned subsidiary, MyMedicalRecords, Inc. (collectively, “MMR”), today announced that on Friday, December 5, 2014, the California Court of Appeal issued an Alternative Writ of Mandate, finding the trial court “erred in granting [Surgery Center Management, LLC–s (“SCM”)] motion for summary adjudication”. The Company believes that the Court of Appeal–s Alternative Order shall soon clear the way for MMR to continue pursuing its claim for as much as $30 million against SCM. It would be the second time the Court of Appeal ruled in favor of MMR in this matter. The full case would then be remanded back to the Los Angeles County Superior Court, where MMR will continue to pursue its claim for breach of contract.

The case stems from a December 9, 2011 Non-Exclusive Settlement and Patent License Agreement. SCM contracted to pay MMR an initial payment of $5 million, payable on December 23, 2011, and additional payments of $5 million per year for five consecutive years, to license certain of MMR–s health IT and patents covering uses of its personal and professional health IT products and services. On January 19, 2012, MyMedicalRecords, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles for breach of contract.

In addition to being a practicing entity as a leading provider of Personal Health Records, MyMedicalRecords, Inc. has a health IT patent portfolio that currently consists of 13 issued U.S. patents, 17 pending U.S. applications, and numerous issued patents and pending applications in other countries or regional authorities of commercial interest including Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan, Canada, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Israel and Europe.
